Sweet Retreats for Two in the Heart of Los Olivos

Central Coast Wine Tasting is Just Steps Away From Your Stay

Casa Rivera sits in the heart of Los Olivos, California surrounded by gorgeous Santa Barbara County wine country. With over forty wine tasting rooms in the downtown alone, Los Olivos offers visitors the ideal mix of small town charm with sophisticated wine tasting and dining opportunities. Nestled privately at the rear of the property, our two guest suites offer both tranquility and easy access to the vibrant downtown. The iconic flagpole at the center of town is just a block away, and each unit has dedicated parking for one car.

Casa Rivera Guest Suites

Guests booking either the King or Queen Retreats have private use of the apartments and dedicated parking for one car per unit. Located at the rear of the property, these clean and well-appointed guest suites are accessed through a coded common stairwell door separate from the front house and each unit has its own inner door, also coded. Both apartments are decorated with hand-crafted art and furnishings made by the hosts and are designed to create a harmonious color story and one-of-kind vibe. The backyard includes a semi-private seating nook with propane fire pit that is reserved for the downstairs unit. The upstairs King Retreat features two private decks – one right off the living space also with a fire pit and a view of the surrounding hills of Ballard Canyon. The hosts live in the front house and are available on property when needed.

Customer Reviews

This is one of the best vacation rental experiences I ever had…Mia is a communicative, welcoming and kind host. Casa Rivera’s location was outstanding and the actual guest suite is all you could want after a day of wine tasting. The bed was comfortable and the fire pit on the porch was delightful. I highly recommend Mia’s place and cannot wait to return.

We had the most wonderful stay at Casa Rivera. Prior to checking in we received instructions on where to park, how to get in, etc. The unit was spotless and looked exactly like the pictures. It was very well thought out and included a lot of amenities I don’t usually see in Airbnbs – a steamer, well-appointed coffee station, wine fridge and huge jug of filtered water. The location can’t be beat…just a block off the tasting rooms, restaurants, etc. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful location! We were so blown away with just how close we were to all the tasting rooms and restaurants in Los Olivos. The apartment itself is perfect and the private balcony was amazing. 10/10! Mia was an awesome host, we look forward to staying at Casa Rivera again.

Mia’s place is perfectly located and makes it so easy to explore the town on foot. Directions for arrival were really clear and simple. The apartment is exactly as pictured and the balcony with the fire pit is so cozy and has a beautiful view. Mia was such a great host – so quick to respond and offered so many personal touches. The apartment has everything you need – would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay in Los Olivos. The apartment is located right downtown with all the tasting rooms and restaurants of Los Olivos. Can’t be any closer! One of the cleanest bathrooms we’ve had in an Airbnb and I greatly appreciated the clean towels. No dingy, old towels here! Would absolutely stay here again!

ThomasKansas City, Missouri

Great location for exploring Los Olivos. We parked our car and just walked everywhere. The Queen Retreat was bigger than I expected. Everything is super clean. Loved all the coffee options. Friendly host and also very easy to check in and out – appreciated that there weren’t a lot of requests for check out. Would definitely stay again.

Sweet King Retreat

The upstairs King Retreat at Casa Rivera is steps from the vibrant Los Olivos wine tasting scene. The 560 sq ft studio is ideal for two people, but can accommodate three between a king bed and a futon-style sleeper sofa. With its open plan format, the king bed is adjacent to a lounge area with a 55” TV so it can be easily viewed anywhere in the space.

The kitchenette has a sink, stove-top, mini-fridge with freezer and is equipped with lots of ways to make coffee. There is also an eight-bottle wine fridge to take care of those treasures you bring home from a day of tasting. The bathroom has a tub/ shower combo and right outside its door is a built-in dresser should you stay more than a couple nights. Off the lounge area is a covered deck with Adirondack chairs, a propane fire pit – a perfect place to watch the sun set over Ballard Canyon.

Sweet Queen Retreat

The Queen Retreat at Casa Rivera is the smaller of our two units. The cozy bi-level space has a queen size bed in the lower bedroom area and raised lounge with a couch to relax and watch TV. The adjacent RV-sized kitchen has a stove top and oven, mini fridge, microwave, toaster and many ways to make coffee just how you like. Non-dairy creamer and half ‘n half are provided by the host. This smartly designed studio is ideal for two people with its dedicated bedroom space, separate raised lounge with kitchen and full-size tub/shower combo bathroom.

Relax in our lush yard under a gorgeous mulberry tree complete with a rustic fairy village. There is a semi-private three-person seating nook complete with a propane fire pit. If scheduling permits, you may request to drop your car off earlier than the check-in time which can be handy in this town with very limited parking.

Hosted by Mia and Bryan Rivera

Welcome to Casa Rivera in Los Olivos. The property has been family-owned for more than 50 years and Bryan spent a good part of his youth growing up here, playing in the creek behind the house and wandering around Los Olivos before it developed into the vibrant wine tasting scene it is now. When Mia and Bryan returned to Los Olivos in the Fall of 2021 and decided to convert the apartments into cozy guest suits, they worked together to create much of the unique art and furnishings featured in each space. Since launching Casa Rivera guest suites in June of 2022, more than 200 guests have come to stay and enjoy the serenity of the property and close proximity to all the town has to offer.
